20 years history
A
sian Craft (Cebu),
Incorporated (ACCI)
history is a milestone of
significant changes as it went
on to endeavor developments
as a starting company. From
the onset, there was only
one factory
headed by
Mr. Kazunari Aokage as
the General Manager and
Mr. Koichi Minagawa as
his Assistant Manager. The
initial working team was
comprised and pioneered by
five office personnels, seven
regular fabrication employees
and five trainees supervised
by three Japanese trainors,
Mr. Kenji Kanto, Mr. Shojie
Umida and Mr. Suzuki.
’95
operation
started
From a humble beginning,
ACCI has flourished into a
promising manufacturing
firm since its inception. It
was organized in March
29, 1995 and its operation
started on August 15,
1995. ACCI was officially
Philippine Economic Zone
Authority registered on May
24, 1999 and its General
Contracting Business was
approved by the Security
Exchange Commission in
2010.
On the same year, two
additional employees were
hired and two companies,
Buanoy Steel Fabricators
and Metaphil International
started subcontracting at
ACCI.
’95
first
aluminum
boats
and exhaust pipes. Under
the same management,
the first project on steel
fabrication was contracted
in 1998 and later venturing
to Hatch coaming, Funnel,
Radar Mast, Settling Tank,
Provision Crane, Engine
Room Crane and Middle
Assembly job orders of
Tsuneishi Heavy Industries
(Cebu), Inc. (THI)
In
1999, ACCI’s management
was later delegated to Mr.
Satoru Kobatake as General
Manager pursuing the same
fabrication works.
’01
On December 1995,
the pioneers
started
the fabrication of
two
aluminum passenger boats
which was followed by two
aluminum fishing service
boats and an aluminum
yacht thereafter. In order
to
optimize
expertise,
ACCI also engaged in the
fabrication of Slipway bed
for Slipway 1 and accepted
Ship repair job orders in
1996.
’98
first
ventures
During Mr. Aokage’s
promotion as
President
in 1998, ACCI accepted
projects from
Iligan
Alson Cement Plant for
the fabrication of ducting
successful
expansions
It’s worth reflecting when
ACCI continues its high
performance level, when in
2001, Mr. Hitoshi Takahara
joined as as President. Since
his time, he paved additional
expansions on Pure Car
Truck
Carrier-Ramp
which was later furthered
to additional six factories:
J1-Middle Assembly, J2Middle Assembly Extension
and Hatch Cover Factory,
L-Factory –Outfits,
F2SMC,
D4-Hatch Cover/
Hatch Coaming Factory and
G3-Assembly Factory.
’10
maintenance
group was
organized
ACCI’s presidency was
thereafter turned over to
Mr. Hitoshi Kono on 2010.
In his term, J2 factory was
given up while adding G4BG/BS blocks. Likewise, D4
factory was altered to J3 as
Hatch Coaming factory.
From then, there are six
factories: J1, J3, G3,G4,L,F2
factories. It was also within
the management of Mr.
Kono that a maintenance
group was formed purposely
for maintenance on cranes,
hydraulic press machines,
block lifters, block carriers
and other equipments and
machineries. Special projects
on cranes both for local
and export was also started
during his term. Asian Craft
(Cebu), Incorporated’s trend
of embracing customer
satisfaction with quality
workmanship as an affiliate
of THI continued.
’15
first filipino
president
In 2015, first Filipino
Asian
Craft
(Cebu),
Incorporated
presidency
was designated to Mr. Alex
Alasco. He brings his twenty
years of management and
growth experience as he now
leads Asian Craft (Cebu),
Incorporated uP9

uASIAN... management and
operations.
Perusing
the
history of Asian Craft
(Cebu),Incorporated,
one gets the picture of a
competent business whose
twenty years of existence
20
has been characterized as
growing and expanding.
From the establishment
of yet a single factory with
17 Filipino personnels and
two subcontractors with
13 workers , it has grown
to 6 factories with special
9
projects and maintenance
group, 25 regular employees
and
9
subcontractors
comprising 692 workers as
of the present.
Asian
Craft
(Cebu),
Incorporated’s history , thus
far, could at least partly
be read as a history of
the company’s efforts to
achieve these developments
by maintaining loyalty on
focusing to quality effects
as it continues to uphold
the leverage of its existence
exceeding
customer’s
been unimaginable. ACCI
had helped me greatly as well
in widening my knowledge
and skills in welding especially
with the training opportunity
in Japan that I had once taken
advantage of. Having raised
my big family with ACCI’s
assistance is an achievement
for me.” - PRIMITIVO C.
MORANDANTE
I am very proud of having
retained my loyalty to ACCI
and receiving the diplomas
of my children as proceeds
of my earnings as an ACCI
employee. All efforts had paid
off!” - JOSE MONTEROSO

were entrusted to me in a way
helped developed my expertise
throughout the years. Me and
my family are very thankful to
ACCI.” - ALEX ALASCO

at ACCI since the time I
joined the company. I thank
the management for the
motivation and trust which

Countless are the benefits that

respects helped me and my
family a lot.” - JANETO

company had helped sustain
the daily needs of my family

“I wouldn’t reach 20 years
with ACCI if I don’t get the

for my family as well. I
couldn’t be a good provider
to the needs of my family
without the benefits I receive
from my work. Thank you
ACCI!” - EDELFONSO O.
ALMENTO
“Working at ACCI for 20
years is for me a blessing. It is
through ACCI that I am able
to assist in the provision of the
daily necessities of my family.
More so, I had been trained
and had developed initiatives
in my work responsibilities.
I’m proud that I remained
loyal to ACCI for 20 years.” ELIZABETH N. TAPIA
“My 20 years with ACCI
had not all been easy and light.
I had experienced hardships
and challenges which in a
way had been beneficial to
me. By those, my skills were
molded to the efficiency based
on the demands of my work.
“My 20 years with the
company had both improved
my efficiency at work and
had helped me out provide the
needs of my family. Not only
am I able to send my children
to school, but I am proud
that with my hard work and
persistence, my daughter had
finished a course in Nursing.
I have also already acquired
my own house and lot, which
may not have been possible,
if it weren’t for the privileges
and benefits of being an ACCI
employee. I am proud to say,
that one of my proudest
achievement is reaching my
current job level from when
I started with Asian Craft.”CERIO S. SUCIAS

the
support
of
the
management
and
my
family as an inspiration I
reached this far. The major
changes I had during my
career was when I was

“Way
back
from
November 1995, I was
employed by T & H
Furnishing , Ind. Inc. , now
Tsuneishi Accommodation
Cebu,
Inc.
as
a
production-in-charge for
the manufacturing of ship’s
furniture of THI’s 1st
vessel ( SC-001 M/V SEA
AMELITA ).
In January 1996, my
company sent me here in
Tsuneishi Ship Building
factory
to
supervise
in the construction of
ship
accommodation
especially on the scope
of
Carpentry
works
including Deck covering,
Insulation,
Wall
and
Ceiling works, installation
of Wooden Furnitures and
Furnishings.
It
was
my
first
experience to be part of a
new ship building factory
both owned and managed
by the Japanese. Back
then my experience in
the construction of ship
accommodation was not
as much. The company
had shown its support by
sending in experienced
Japanese consultants and
technicians.
Along
with
the
experience
I
earned
came the success of the
recognition of my work.
I was then permanently
assigned here in the
ship building factory in
Balamban and earned a
promotion as an Assistant
Manager supervising the
ships
Accommodation
works and as well as
an IMPEX In-charge of
the company, tasked too
handle the documents in
processing Import / Export
items conducted by Pezacustom examiner assigned
here in WCIP-SEZ Buanoy
Balamban Cebu.
By 2010 I got my current
position as a Manager for
the Sales and Procurement
Department of TACI.
I am very thankful to the
Almighty God for helping
me achieve what I have
achieved.
My 20 years of working
with the ship building
had been complicated,
and challenging. Getting
through had taught me to
value and respect every
individual, develop selfconfidence, courage and
determination bringing me
to what I am today. What
started out as an earned
degree and license as a
Civil Engineer turned out
to be one of my greatest
achievement today.” ALBEN DURAN

ASTILLERO TSUNEISHI
PARAGUAY S.A. completed
construction of a shallow
draft type 6,000 HP class
pusher boat with four
propeller engines and shafts,
for secure river transport of
heavy objects, and handed it
over to the ship owner.
The pusher boat that
was handed over is able
to navigate thru shallow
rivers with its design for a
1.83 meter draft, which is
39% less than the standard
3-meter draft. Also, it
is structured with the
bridge moved toward the
bow, enabling the pilot to
visually confirm operations
when pushing a barge. This
structure, in which the
bridge juts toward the front
with its bow side covered
in glass, makes for better
visibility. Also, rubber
dampers have been installed
between the residential
quarters and the deck to
improve living conditions
for the crew by reducing
vibration and noise.
